(a) Every notice of hearing on a compliance order shall contain the date, time and place at which the hearing shall be conducted.
(b) Each hearing shall be set for a date not less than fifteen days nor more than sixty days from the date of service of the notice of hearing unless the hearing officer determines that the matter is urgent or that good cause exists for an extension of time. The party subject to the compliance order may request one continuance for any reason, provided that the deferred hearing shall be conducted within ninety days after the date originally scheduled for hearing; if the hearing officer determines that compliance is urgently required to protect the public peace, health, safety, or welfare, however, the hearing officer may deny the extension of time.
(c) Written notice of hearing shall be served on any person to whom the compliance order was addressed.
(d) The hearing serves to provide the full opportunity of a person subject to a compliance order to object to the determination that a violation has occurred and/or that the violation has continued to exist and/or that the person was not responsible for the violation. The failure of any person subject to a compliance order to appear a the hearing or in the alternative to present evidence for consideration at the hearing shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies that may bar judicial review.
